Greatest Superstars of the 21st Century Blu Ray Review

Greatest Superstars of the 21st Century Blu Ray Review



This documentary is just the same as the one from the Greatest Stars of the 90s . It's fun to sit through and watch , but there's nothing really new to learn here . If you're a WWE fan , you probably knew all the facts anyway . Every superstar featured on the DVD , in my opinion , deserves to be there .


Fun . End of story . 5/10



Disc 1 : Matches



Booker T vs The Rock
From Summerslam 2001 . For some reason the WCW Championship is being defended in the main event of a big WWE PPV . This was a pretty good match and the crowd was into it . The Rock wins the WCW Title after a rock bottom . ***



Rob Van Dam vs Chris Jericho
IC title on the line in a match between two guys that have awesome chemistry together . Another good match between the two . Jericho wins the title with a walls of jericho . **3/4



Triple H vs Kane
One of the highest rated Raw matches in history . HHH's World Title was on the line and if Kane lost he had to remove his mask and show his face . One way or the other , something big would happen . A good exciting match here as Kane is pinned after an RKO and a pedigree . *** After the match , Kane unmasks for the first time and attacks RVD .



Brock Lesnar vs Kurt Angle : 60 Minute Iron Man Match
One of the best Smackdown matches in history and one of the best Iron Man matches . WWE Title was on the line . Angle goes 1-0 after Brock hit him with a chair and was DQ'd . Brock quickly ties it after an F5 . Brock makes it 2-1 with an ankle lock . Brock goes 3-1 with a count out . Angle makes it 3-2 with an Angle slam . Brock is 4-2 after hitting Angle with the title . Brock makes it 5-2 with a top rope perfectplex . Angle makes it 5-3 with a belly to belly from the top rope . Brock taps to the Angle lock to make it 5-4 . The match ends 5-4 to Brock as he becomes the new champion . ****1/4



Eddie Guerrero vs Rey Mysterio
WWE Championship up for grabs in this match between two guys that always have great matches with each other . This one was no exception . One of the better matches they've had with each other . Eddie wins with a roll up . Excellent match here . ****



Disc 1 Blu Ray Exclusives



We get the debut of Evolution . It's amazing to see how Batista and Randy Orton went from being relatively unknown , to two of the biggest stars in the industry .


Kane gives his eulogy for the Undertaker on Smackdown , after he buried him alive at the 2003 Survivor Series .


JBL decides to call out the Undertaker . A midget Taker comes out . Thought it was Hornswoggle at first but I don't think it is . The real Taker comes out and chokeslams the midget .



Disc 2



JBL vs Eddie Guerrero vs Booker T vs Undertaker
From Armageddon 2004 . This was a very unpredictable match , as every competitor had a viable chance of winning the match . Everyone was also getting tired of JBL being the champion . Two frog splashes couldn't even keep Taker down . JBL retains with a clothesline from hell to Booker T . ***3/4



JBL vs Kurt Angle vs Big Show
From the 2005 Royal Rumble and is for the WWE Championship . This match was better than a lot of people expected , even with some of the overbooking . JBL pins Angle after a clothesline from hell . ***



Triple H vs Edge
This took place in Japan and is a unique heel against heel match for the World Heavyweight Championship . The Japanese fans are very respectful . A nice little rare match here as HHH pins Edge with the pedigree . ***



Lita vs Trish Stratus
From the 2006 Unforgiven . Womens title was on the line here and this was Trish's retirement match . Nice that it took place in Toronto . This is what a divas match should be like . Trish wins the Womens title by making Lita tap to the sharpshooter . A nice emotional moment . ***1/4



Shawn Michaels vs Edge vs Randy Orton
The winner of this match would go on to face John Cena at Wrestlemania 23 for the WWE Title . It was hard to predict the winner of this one , since everyone looked like a viable candidate . HBK pins Orton after Edge spears him . **3/4



Batista / Undertaker / Shawn Michaels / John Cena vs Randy Orton / Edge / Mr Kennedy / MVP
Both Wrestlemania 23 main events teaming up here to take on some dreaded heels . This match was a lot of fun . The match ends after a big clusterfuck , and HBK pinning Orton after a superkick . ***1/4



Batista vs Undertaker
I remember before this match took place , I was sure it wouldn't be a very good match . Boy was I wrong . This match rocked . Love it when Taker uses druids for his entrance . Amazing entrance for Taker . Really surprising fast pace for this match . Love the Undertaker's WM suicide dive . Always great to see . These two guys went out there and tore down the house and showed they deserved to be in the main event at Wrestlemania . Taker goes 15-0 and wins the world title with a tombstone . ****



Blu Ray Exclusives



Triple H vs JBL vs John Cena vs Randy Orton
From Backlash 2008 . Elimination rules apply in this match for the WWE Championship . JBL eliminated first after tapping to the STF . Cena out quickly afterwards with a punt to the head . After a long battle , HHH counters an RKO into a pedigree to win the title . Great match . ***1/2



Batista vs Rey Mysterio vs Kane vs JBL vs Chris Jericho : Champioship Scramble Match
From Unforgiven 2008 . The champ , CM Punk , was taken out earlier in the night , so Y2J took his place even though he had already competed . A new champ was guaranteed . Batista and JBL start the match off . After five minutes Kane comes out . After five more minutes , Rey Mysterio comes out . Finally Jericho comes out . Jericho looks really damaged after his match earlier in the night . Jericho pins Kane to become the new champ . ***



CM Punk vs Jeff Hardy : TLC Match
One of the best feuds of 2009 hits its breaking point with a TLC match . Jeff Hardy's specialty match . Nice to see they got the main event spot . Jeff being dropped onto a set-up chair looked brutal . The superplex on the ladder looked very sick . Jeff's swanton onto the announce table was the holy shit moment of the match . Punk knocks Jeff off the ladder and grabs the title to become the new champ . Incredible . ****1/4



Eddie Guerrero , Rey Mysterio and Booker T argue over who's going to win the 2005 Royal Rumble .



Kurt Angle tells the fans he hates the ' You Suck ' chant . He does his entrance over again until he hears some respect . This is pretty good . Kurt walks out and refuses to compete .



Booker T has his coronation and is now known as King Booker .



At Backlash 2007 , John Cena and Randy Orton talk backstage . Cena basically accuses Orton of being gay . Pretty funny actually . To make things better , Ron Simmons turns up and says his catchphrase .



We are shown the Jericho Highlight Reel where Jericho throws Shawn Michaels face first into the Jeritron 5000 and kayfabe injures his eye , almost forcing him to retire .



6.5/10 . The documentary isn't too great , but the matches make up for it , especially with the full Iron Man match between Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle .
